What to know

To mark the 400th anniversary of the French Navy, YEMA's Navygraf adopts a blue gradient dial and matching bezel framed by a warm IP-bronze-coloured case. The dial features the Marine Nationale commemorative text, and the elastic-style blue strap recalls improvised parachute-material straps worn by French naval divers. The gold-toned hands, luminous shapes and deep-blue colour make a deliberately ceremonial variation of a classic dive instrument.

This model measures 39 mm across and just 9.75 mm thick, with 200 metres of water resistance. Unlike YEMA's manufacture-calibre divers, it uses Seiko's VH31 quartz movement, whose sweeping seconds hand creates a smoother visual motion than ordinary one-second quartz steps. The anniversary caseback has an embossed insignia. At US$590, it is an accessible entry in the collection, with December 2026 shipping advertised rather than a precisely confirmed release day.
